View Full Version : Wow. Just saw REM at Hyde Park, postponed from last Sat 'cause of the bombings.. mojo 07-16-2005, 07:13 PM they were by turns majecstic, exhilerating and moving. And when Stipe sang "this one goes out to the one i love" the song felt different, somehow generalized so that you just couldn't help but think of the victims and the ones they've left behind. and most of all it made you appreciate that REM possess a quality that very very few rock/pop groups do - gravitas. respect. TIMb 07-18-2005, 07:04 AM i was there too. awesome show! wtf was up with patti smyth!? i couldn't really see, but it looked like stip gave her his mic... and was whispering the words in her ear as she sang. or something. very odd.

While me and this friend of mine were going all nuts about the (then) new songs, and all the old stuff they played, al of the other 5000 people were rather bored during those parts of the set. But when the first tones of everybody hurts were played, all the lighters came out and the sing-a-long crap began. Nothing/everything 07-19-2005, 03:09 AM oh, and here's the set of the particular gig i was talking about: 1. Finest Worksong 2. These Days 3. Animal 4. What's the Frequency, Kenneth? 5. Fall on Me 6. Bad Day 7. Daysleeper 8. Imitation of Life 9. I've Been High 10. The Great Beyond 11. Exhuming McCarthy 12. So. Central Rain 13. Country Feedback 14. So Fast So Numb 15. Losing My Religion 16.
